Iheanacho has been instrumental in Celtic’s recent surge, scoring crucial goals after coming off the bench.

The Nigeria international converted a late penalty in Wednesday’s win over Motherwell, a result that kept Celtic firmly in the title race.

The 29‑year‑old has scored eight goals in 22 appearances across all competitions for Martin O’Neill’s side this season.

His match‑winning contributions have earned the club eight points, including decisive strikes against Kilmarnock on his debut, Dundee Hibernian, and Motherwell.
